What’s up, everyone? I’ve been jamming to Project Sekai: Colorful Stage nonstop, and this guide is my personal backstage pass. It’s packed with insights, tips, and strategy to help you groove through the rhythm game like a pro—but still keeps that casual, player-to-player vibe. No fluff, just real talk. Let’s dive in!
I. Introduction to Project Sekai: Colorful Stage
A. Game Concept & Setting
So here’s the lowdown: Project Sekai is a mobile rhythm-slash-adventure game featuring both OG Vocaloid stars (think Miku, Rin/Len, Luka, Kaito, Meiko) and new human characters living in an electrifying version of Shibuya with a twist—fans call them Sekai, emotional pocket dimensions where your feelings shape the world.
Picture tapping, flicking, and sliding to epic Vocaloid tracks, all while being drawn into personal stories of five human units—and yes, each Sekai reflects their emotional journey. It hits that sweet spot between depth and fun.
B. Core Appeal
Music + Story fused together: Every song ties into a character’s emotional arc—so you’re not just pressing buttons, you’re part of a narrative.
Accessible yet rich gameplay: Beginners can pick Easy; veterans can tackle Master, Append, Expert… and still find a challenge.
Sekai worlds are vibrant, immersive, and scream replay value. You aren’t just playing—you’re exploring.
II. Main Characters & Units
In total, there are five human units, each with a unique theme and style. Here's how they break down:

Wonderlands x Showtime: A theatrical troupe, flamboyant and performance-focused.
Nightcord at 25:00: A midnight internet-only group; they keep everything hush-hush and emo.
Each unit also has a Sekai, a parallel dimension created by their emotions—schoolroom, stage, street, amusement park, and a surreal net-space, respectively.
B. Virtual Singers
Every unit’s Sekai is powered by Virtual Singers: Miku, Kagamine Rin & Len, Megurine Luka, Kaito, Meiko. They’re like spectral bandmates guiding the characters and enriching every story beat.
